Season 15

13 Episodes

Dara O Briain presents the now traditional Mock the Week Christmas special, filled with all the usual festive irreverence and inappropriateness. Joined by a host of top comedy performers, Dara and Hugh tackle a fiendish quiz, eat some seasonal food, open presents and throw in rounds such as Newsreel, Scenes We'd Like to See and If This is the Answer. There are also outtakes and best bits from 2016.

Dara O' Briain and Hugh Dennis mock the events of the last seven days with guests James Acaster, Dane Baptiste, Rob Beckett, Ed Byrne and Holly Walsh.
This episode was originally scheduled to air 06-16 as Episode 2, but was pulled before it could air out of respect for recent events.
